Key Takeaways
- Peel Regional Police launched 23 Division in northwest Brampton on November 10 — the service's first new division since 1987, when Peel's population was about 730,000.
- The 61,000-square-foot station at 1000 Lagerfeld Drive has room for up to 500 officers and civilian members and includes a free community room, a first for a Peel division.
- The division becomes fully operational December 12, when 22 Division's front desk closes and its in-person services move to the new building.
Peel's first new police division in 39 years is coming to Brampton
In 1987, Peel Regional Police opened its last new division. The region had about 730,000 residents.
Now, with Peel's population past 1.5 million, the police service has unveiled its answer to decades of growth: 23 Division, a new station at 1000 Lagerfeld Drive in northwest Brampton.
The two-storey building covers 61,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 500 officers and civilian members. But one feature stands out beyond the size: for the first time, a Peel police division will include a community room that residents can use free of charge.
The opening comes with a December deadline
The unveiling doesn't mean officers are moving in immediately.
23 Division becomes fully operational on December 12, 2026. On that same day, the front desk at 22 Division, located at 7750 Hurontario Street, will close, with its in-person services transferring to the new station.
Construction began in November 2024 at the site near Mississauga Road.
For northwest Brampton residents, the change is practical: police front-desk services, including reports and records checks, will have a much closer address.
The Twikup Take
Peel's population has more than doubled since its last new division opened. Its police infrastructure is finally catching up.
But the most interesting part isn't the 61,000 square feet or the capacity for 500 staff. It's the community room.
A police station built for a growing region is also making room for the people who live in it.
